Fax Extension
Do not use this feature for fax machines connected to analog multiline telephones
with a General Purpose Adapter (GPA). In a GPA configuration, features cannot
be assigned to the fax independently of the telephone.
A maximum of 16 fax machines (tip/ring ports) can be assigned the Fax
Extensions feature. Additional fax machines can be installed, but these additional
fax machines cannot use the Fax Extension feature.

Conference
If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the telephone at that
extension is unable to use the Conference feature.
Display
On MLX display telephones, message-waiting indications received by a
fax message-waiting receiver are identified as
FAX
. On analog multiline
telephones, messages are indicated by
Call
extension
or
caller’s name.
The type of message indicated does not allow a calling group
message-waiting receiver to distinguish between a message left for the
calling group and a fax or personal message.
Group Calling
The calling group receives fax message-waiting indications directed to
the calling group. The message-waiting receiver cannot distinguish
between messages left for the calling group and fax or personal
messages.
Hold
If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the telephone at that
extension is unable to use the Hold feature.
Messaging
Return Call is not operable for messages received from a fax machine
and cannot be used to make a call to the fax.
Multi-Function
Module
A single-line telephone with a Message LED connected to an MFM can
receive message-waiting indications but not stutter dial tone.
Ringing Options
The Fax Extension feature overrides the distinctive ringing pattern for
calls transferred to a fax extension. When a fax extension receives a
transferred call, the fax extension provides one long ring (similar to an
inside call) instead of three short rings.
Transfer
If an extension is programmed as a fax extension, the telephone at that
extension is unable to use the Transfer button.
